>Butt towel for the kot
Noice

so i stepped it up a notch m8s and got the El Camino of cooking oils, not gonna lie i am pretty excited

had one of these earlier and i must say it was quite refreshing in the 9000% humidity which is houston this week

so i bought like 100 chicken wings, gonna do some wings, gonna switch it up, might farm the heck out of it dont worry about it

gonna try making fries with these little baby taters, gonna soak em not sure how theyll be but sty tuned!

gonna prep all these wings and bag some up and freeze some so feel free to relax with some beer and listen to these jams, i am a bit dickered here so this will take complete consentration

Are we going to become a breast feeding board next since breast milk is food?

>>8007775
you always post the dank jams OP, respec'

>>8007790
is breast feeding work safe? this may be a glitch in the matrix

so i have separates a lot of wings , got a big bag for a friends bday tomorrow and a bag to freeze and pic related, im going to grill them,..but wait..thats not all

>>8007785
Is that, like, casserole lasagna?

Would eat/10

i have a good amount of blackberries. cheesecake or proper pies are too troublesome to make, just eating them with just some sugar sounds like a waste, what's a decent and easy "light" use for them? i was thinking about some yogurt + hot chocolate but i don't know what's best.
they are gonna start to taste bad if we keep them in the fridge for 2 more days.

will post result if we use your suggestion.

>>8007806

>>8007785

>>8007840

Something I made this week from stuff in the cupboard. Crushed animal crackers mixed with cinnamon, brown sugar and melted butter for a crust, filled with a can of apple pie filling and topped with melted butterscotch chips.

>>8007872

>>8007823
Well it is lasagna indeed, and it was made in a casserole-type receptacle, but desu i don't know in what else I could make it

>>8007843
It has baked aubergine between layers, and a bunch of sauce made with mushrooms, onions, garlic, and seasonings

Topped with old-ish cheese

Need more kot in the thread OP

Making Pasta alla Norma today, prepared the sauce already. Just have to cook the pasta now, add my grated pecorino romano and feta mixture, some basil, and I'm good to go.

sorry bro thats just a compilation of other peoples songs chopped and screwed by DJ Candlestick and hosted by OG Ron C, if you like it slow but not chopped youd have to do it yourself, give it a shot for a while it may grow on u

k so this has nothing to do what ill be eating tonight, but it has to do with a recipe for tomorrow that a bit of prep, and also involves learning how to dismember this chicken in front of its children

first tho i need to clean my kitchen and drink a whole bottle of tequila

youre the Best poster on /ck/ and probably the Best texan of all time next to DJ Screw. Thanks, OP. Keep doing ur thing.

>>8018008
OP, why do you have life, when you have a home, a loving pet, and money for food, and internet?

Threads are always mad comfy op. I'm just like you but instead of a kot I have a doggo, instead of beer I drink hard liquor every day, and instead I'm not the best cook but I try. I love cooking for myself because no one complains.

>>8011134

>>8022401

>>8022405
Never post that picture of Hope Solo ever again.

Fellow Houstonian here, last night's dinner.

>Spanish rice
Overcooked, too much liquid. Flavor was fantastic, though.
>Jalapeno poppers
Bacon + Jalapeno + Cheese, addictive as hell
>Stuffed Cod
No money shot, but these were small portions of cod stuffed with real crab meat, garlic, and dusted with cajun seasonings. 8/10, slightly overcooked.
>Borracho beans
Not shown. Pinto and red beans slow cooked in Shiner Bock and stock, with various veggies and species. Inspired by HEB's canned offering which is actually really good.

srry fell asleep last night, it was good but the sauce was not great was just liquid cayenne

beautiful

>>8023608
>just liquid cayenne
Are you implying that's a bad thing?

Also, I can't help but notice that yours doesn't have that vibrant red glow that the hot chicken I see has.

>>8022401
>>8022405
Those look really good. I've never baked bread before, do you have a recipe?

>>8023608
Good job op, I want to try that now

Nice thread op.
Made this with a bunch of leftover steamed vegs on a lazy weekend. Shit was cash

>>8024544
And she appeared later that day from nowhere. I don't think she is a stray, went everywhere and was comfortable around everyone in the shared house.

>>8024410
2 cups water
1/4 cup honey
1,5oz yeast
2 cups OATS
Half tablespoon of Salt
3-4 cups of sourdough flour

Mix the yeast into warm water with honey, mix well and add oats. Let it sit for about 30min covered, then gradually mix in flours, salt and butter. Knead into breadrolls, flour them and let them sit for 10 minutes more, covered. Bake in 440f(225c) for about 20mins or until they shound hollow then tapping the bottom with your finger.

Let them cool a bit before enjoying them with butter and your favorite warm beverage. Comfy as fuck.

>>8024998
Fuck forgot the butter, 1,5oz of that too. If you use salted butter you can add less salt, best way to check it just to go ahead and try.

>>8023611
looks good af

>>8021627
Woo I love me some hot chicken yes I do. Might make some later, might try Chef John's or might just do my usual. My recipe is a lot more complicated than his so we'll see.

Made some steak dinner, going to post my cook along ish thing.

Started taking pics after chimichurri sauce was half way done.

>>8025227
ready to chill

>>8025232
for those that do not know about chimichurri, it's

red wine vinegar, garlic, shallots, a hot pepper of your choice, cilantro, oregan and parsley, small amount of salt, olive oil.

Now we make a cauliflower dish.

>>8025236
my family is south american, but we make chimicurri exclusively with cilanto,

just fyi if you have limited ingredients.

into the blender. Don't want a puree but very finely chopped up cauliflower.

>>8025244
I haven't tried it w/ just cilantro, I'll have to give it a go.

the cauliflower.

>>8025248
my nigga, just let the flavors meld... dat garlic, pepper... garlic... cilantro.... for a couple days.

can't guarantee the authenticity, but its's perfect to spread on steak!

toast pine nuts after rinsing them and adding salt / whatever other spices you want in microwave, super easy and actually works.

Add, pine nuts, lime juice, olive oil, parsley, mint, tomatoes, black pepper, salt.

getting that steak ready.

and fin. I am sad because I had to take a massive shit while the steak was cooking and it over cooked to a medium well to well done, still delicious but I like them medium to medium well.

>>8025272
looks tasty

>>8025272
>likes it overcooked
>cries about it being overcooked

>>8007729
God damnit your cat is so god damn cute.

Did OP eat the cat? Where is he??

nice thread

left overs for dinner. decent.

>>8027729
that honestly doesnt look overcooked to me, if it was a decentish cut i bet it was good, i need to fucks with califlower, i seen a few recipes that make it look appetizing

>>8027736
well the steak is new tonight, just the other stuff is leftover.

cauliflower puree is pretty damn good.
cauliflower, thyme, olive oil, melted butter, salt, pepper. Throw it all in the blender, GG.

>>8027811
steamed cauliflower that is.

>>8027729
Why the fuck a plastic fork? You kills it, son

I made tater tot caserole. Burger, onion, green beans, mushroom soup, and tots. No cheese because I think the soup is powerful enough.

>>8024574
Sneaking on my mate's pasta :3

>>8027867
i get 48 of them for like 99 cents, never have to wash forks.

I got a NY strip steak (choice) from the butcher the other weak.
I did the "quick dry cure" thing which means that I rubbed it with fish sauce, wrapped it in paper towels, and let it sit in the refrigerator for a couple weeks.
Does it make a difference?
Meh, jury is still out on it as far as I'm concerned. Tried it a couple times.
Anyways, getting a bit of a crust on before I bury it in water. 133F.

I usually do 135F but it always seems a bit "over-cooked". I mean that, steaks cooked sous vide can usually retain the same texture as I would like, at a lower temperature. So I'm trying a happy medium this time. Actually fuck it. I'm dialing back to 129F.

>>8007729
Where do you buy your groceries, OP?

>>8028178
Cheeky kot

I made pic related yesterday. Also works well as packed lunch for work

Stuff on the right is a sweet and sour mix with thin pork strips and a ton of veggies

>>8008044
>what did he mean by this
peanut oil is the best cooking oil for flavor in pretty much all dishes that arent Italian

>>8029427
>except Italian
Could you elaborate on this? With what doesn't it actually work from Italian cuisine? Like what veggies and stuff, maybe I use those in a lot of other dishes. I always use olive oil when making pasta (in the sauce) but I wanna know because I've been curious about peanut butter for a while now

I keep reading it's better for wok cooking which I do plenty, but I dunno why that is. I've always used sunflower oil

finalitality

Cooking with my best friend!

autism post incoming, sorry been busy as hell this week

>>8023644
i mean i would use it to add heat the flavor of it is like a dry throaty heat not a lot of taste, mine wasnt super red because i was not digging the sauce so didnt drench it like the recipe did, the chicken itself was great, the cold leftovers were godly

>>8022401
>>8022405

>>8029848
Barr is a pharmaceutical company that produced the majority of dat drank, dat oil, syzurp, purple cup, etc, in case any non houstonfags wonders what it was

a well balanced meal

so i made this tard a nice box with clean towel and she decided she would rather raise her family on a pile of old bicycle tires next to the box, I snuck the towel in for kitties because you cant choose yer parents and its a step above a puddle or under a car i guess

night

>>8029948
Good lad.
Bring mom some tuna in the morning, even though she is dumber then a box of rocks.

I'm not even from Texas and I'm pretty sure it's actavis that is the most popular/expensive lean in the country. Especially popular in Texas for some reason

>>8007729
The cutest kitty cat

>>8029784
I try to brine most of my chicken in pickle juice, even though i love pickles i cant keep up with how much juice i need.

There is a company out there selling 4-packs of canned pickle juice, but its like 16$ per

eat the cat, buy the food a scratching pole.

>>8030107
Hardcore, man. Hardcore.

>>8029948
>because you can't choose yer parents
Fucking kek'd

You're a good person anon

there's a cat on your counter. what's it doing there?

>>8029756
>those look rustic as fuck bro, is the crumb fluffy or dense? i need to bake soon

On the dense side, if I want fluffy rolls with the same dough I need to let it raise overnight

To contribute, I made some carbonara today, now getting fucked up on wine

>>8029756
Heyo it's >>8025031 here

My sauce is basically liquid cayenne. To elaborate, it's cayenne, paprika and whatever other chilies I feel like using. Usually I use a blend of dried cayenne, serrano, ostra-cykon and antohi. (The last two are paprika peppers) I grow my own and dry them so I have a constant supply. The depth of flavor you get from freshly grinding your own dried peppers is incomparable to anything you'd get in a grocery store.

>>8029948
>because you can't choose your parents

Fucking lol

>>8030197
>He doesn't know the kot

>>8029964
Hitec/morton is on the rise now that actavvis is gone still plenty fake actavis going around though. I work at a warehouse but next door is an activist factory. I so wanna go in there and just grab a box of anything pills/codeine whatever. But they check credentials at the front

>>8030201
this looks darn good

Went back to basics tonight with some scrambled eggs.

I haven't eaten scrambled eggs in probably over year somehow, and I forgot how fantastic they are when you go low-and-slow with plenty of butter.

Ate them too fast for pics.

Will make a webm tomorrow.

>>8031549
>somehow never made eggs with butter, always with olive oil
>never really liked eggs desu, except sunny side up
>decide one day to do just that, and sprinkle them with tobasco salt
>they're so fucking good i eat them so quickly it makes me sick
Fuck me m8

gonna make reindeer beef tomorrow. anyone want me to take pics?

>>8031813
yussssssssss

>>8027729

Whipped up some pad see ew tonight on the wok.

>>8032120
good eye

>>8027811
accurate, cauliflower puree and even cauliflower soup (you cook it before pureeing it) is the shit

having a muy authentico mexican meal then Im organizing some stuff

>>8032951
How often do You shit blood?

Also why do you always buy pints or half pints. Cheaper in bulk. Go to costco

>>8033405
that is the amount i wanted to drink, i could buy big bottles but then id be drinking big bottles of liquor

>>8007764
The seasoning on that cast iron... fucking perfect

>>8023608
Damn OP looks phenom, been following your threads forever now and never asked you a trained chef or what, execution of all these dishes is top fucking notch, keep it up senpai

>>8033536
senpai

meatballs fried in peanut oil with mashed potatoes. gravy turned out like shit, and bell peppers dont really go that great with mashed potatoes but it wasnt bad, just not optimal. the meatballs were fantastic though.

>>8033600
better picture

>>8033600
Damn, just got back from HEB, and I should have gotten potatoes.

Thank you for leaving the skins in.

Sometimes I question why I own a "potato peeler" when I use it on carrots exclusively.

>>8033625
skins are the best part my man

What veggies should side with my turkey meatballs? I will do zucchini and maybe squash but what else? Will take pics of dinner later if I get suggestions.

>tfw 2nd time this week eating wonton soup

It's gud lads

>>8033821
zucchini/garlic
brussel sprouts
roasted carrots

>>8008399
OP you pig, why don't you put that mayo next to the fries and dip them in.

Apart from that I have a serious bromance crush on you.

>>8029302
>>8029599

How expensive was the steak? And how did the quick dry curing work out for you? Doesn't it make a big difference?

Steak looks awesome btw.

>>8033918
Not that anon, but I've found the best way to "quick-brine" steaks is to simply rub them down in kosher salt, and put them on a rack, UNCOVERED, in the fridge for about 24 hours.

You'll be able to make a wonderful crust on both sides before it gets past medium rare.

Bump

Made this a while ago. Its my own recipe. Super simple and tastes amazing, but itll get ya real fat real quick.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydxrX-VWJUg

>>8033935
Do you add moisture for this technique and how much salt are we talking? I've never brined steak or any beef for that matter

>>8030004
Make your own damn pickle juice. Heat 2 cups water and two cups vinegar, add sugar, spices, jalapenos and what not. Bring to a boil.

Pickle Juice. It's not Rocket Surgery.

>>8033441
Hard to argue with that kind of logic.

>>8036448
Can anyone translate? Can't understand half of their shit.

>>8033935
It's called a "quick dry-age" .
And for whoever asked how much salt, put a bit more than you normally would put on a steak, and don't forget to rub it in

>>8036562
i prefer a particular brand of pickle juice from a lacto-fermented rather than vinegar brined pickle.

I make my own vinegar brined pickles and use that juice too, its just not the same.

>>8035923
looksgood

this wasnt easy to get back on 2 wheels

so imma gonna make something with this, not sure yet what to do with it but im watchin vids ill figure it out, and its HATCH MOTHERFUCKIN CHILI SEASON so ill be including them

i want to take this post to thank you, and to let you know no I am winging it, I have hardly a clue what im doing but i can follow recipes autistic as hell. my first job i was soux chef at KFC for a year, transferred to a very reputable pizza chain where i worked as a line cook for 6 months then worked my way up to deliveries for about a year. I then fell deeper down the hole and was a server at a 50s diner for 5 or 6 years, so rest assure I am over qualified for this position

No I'm at work, I'm a jeweler and our lunch room is a cold dark safe with no table to eat at.

A little bench filings never hurt anyone, people used to eat precious metals all the time. Some places still do

>>8007729
Get that litter box, turd flinger away from your food, stove and countertops! The fuck is wrong with you?! Are you already suffering from litterbox toxins?

>>8045202

I got hired initially because i took a class on cad/cam design when I was 20 and worked in a machine ship for 4 years. Then got a part time job here doing cad/cams for 7 months then got hired full time to do my usual cad/cam design and now jewelry repair as well.


It's long fucking hours. But good pay of your willing to work shit jobs for 4 years

>>8046195
shit, thats cool.

>>8046195
I wish I could work with shiny rocks for a living
you've got the dream anon

>>8046555

Last post so to not hijack ops thread and cooking in general.

If you want to make the real bucks, move to NY and get your cert. at GIA and grade stones. It's in high demand in every large city.

>>8046572
quick question, if i sent you a photo could you do a rough appraisal?
I inherited two rings and have no clue of their worth (not that i ever plan on selling them)

>>8046664
Just weigh it.a gram of 24k gold is about $42 right now. If you're thinking about pawning expect a lot less. I'm not him but my parents sell gold and I have a shitload I buy off them/sell

>>8046664
Not without seeing it in person jobin.

If I were you I would go to a trusted jeweler (even if it's jarrads or Kay jewelers) and asking if they will give you a verbal apprasial or pay for a insurance appraisal and add it to your homeowners insurance. They run $100-200 per piece

>>8046679
Oh OK, thanks anyways

>>8046674
Nah they have gems in them. Never going to sell them, just was curious

>>8046696
Ahh I see what kind of gem? Cubic zirconium? These are my two favorites from my collection.

>>8046727
I am told they are diamond and rubies in the left and diamond and onyx on the right. One was my maternal great grandfather's and the other a paternal grandfather's

To keep it somewhat food related, that great-grandfather apparently had a pickle recipe so good that he was pestered by family, friends and neighbors for years to scale up into a small business and sell them but he refused to.

>>8046757
do you have the recipe? I'm just now getting into pickling

>>8047093
He was so adamant about not selling his pickles he took the recipe to his grave... which sucks because i love pickles.
That side of the family likes to joke that the reason they were so good was due to leftover oil on his hands from his mechanic work that got mixed in.

I have been using a pretty decent recipe lately though
2-3 Pickling cucumbers
3 tablespoons white vinegar (you can try others if you want)
3/4 tablespoon kosher salt
a couple dill branches
5-10 peppercorns
a sprinkle of crushed red pepper
water to top off the container.

>>8047111
Never understood why people do that kind of thing. I'll give anybody any of my recipes and even show them hands-on how I make shit. (I'm a baker, I get asked for my recipes all the time but 99% of people never even try making them, sadly.)

>>8048193
do you have a recipe for some dank burger/sandwich buns like gastro pub style?

im having trouble with my main pc so i may be phoneposting for a bit

>>8048219
I almost exclusively make desserts, but I do have a soft pretzel recipe somewhere that I made burger buns with in the past that were actually pretty awesome. Lemme dig around for a minute.

>>8048345
Found it, literally it's just Alton Brown's pretzel recipe:
http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/homemade-soft-pretzels-recipe.html

Instead of rolling out the dough you just form it into balls and flatten them out a little before boiling in the sodium bicarbonate water. I made these around the time pretzel buns were meme-ing hard and they were a big hit.

>>8048352
I keep telling myself I'll get into bread and baking more seriously in the near future

Mark my words anons I will!
>normie cunts at work joke when I make some basic sponge cakes and cookies
>they cant make their own sweets
Ironically enough stuff like that turns normies into 4chan-like beings who call everyone faggots out of butthurt

You throw it in the campfire, of course!

>>8045316

>>8045310

>>8045316
Peanut oil makes some bomb ass tendies and meatballs too

Posting my dinner

It tastes much better than it looks desu

Penne, cauliflower, brown mushrooms, parsley, thyme, red pepper and some lemon juice

>>8048597
I run 24 miles a week so I can eat this shit.

>>8053095
Where did you run to last week then :3

>>8046563
Lol you could just start collecting loose stones. I buy a few every so often. Ive gotten a few custom pieces made over the years. I've gotten some set and given them to the wives of house fire families. It means a lot to a lady who had their home destroyed. They always think about the kids and husband maybe some form of photos. Of course I donate tools and clothes as well, time if they're going to rebuild. But that gift usually stays close to her for years after. Usually a necklace since her wedding band it usually on her.

I cheated on lunch. Leftover buffalo wings and kale salad, fresh from the garden at work.

>>8053160
make em eat some eggs, bitches love eggs

>>8053160
>I've gotten some set and given them to the wives of house fire families.
How many of these families could you possibly know personally?

Are you an arsonist?

>>8053141
Your mom's house.

>>8053173
That salad looks like a mouthful, but fine as fuck despite. Sometimes u just gotta eat a chunky ol' salad. I'd have put some better cheese on, but eh, if it's what you had on hand...

>>8007985
dukes mayo, you have good taste

>>8027957
That looks so good. And it's just tots.

>>8035825
Do you mind sharing the recipe?

well patti just barely avoided tragedy, she got out somehow and i here a cat brawl and mom cat is slappin pattis shit all over my patio area. it stops so i go searching for patti for like 45 minutes, turns out shes too fat to jump the fence lol and mom cat had her cornered.

she escaped with a small knick by her eye, shes lucky mom cat took mercy and just shadow boxed her scared ass

I'm eating proper hamburgers tonight

>>8055191
First time I'm making them desu

>>8055193
Hope they'll turn out good. I'll post the end result later on

>>8055173
Good to hear that Phatti Mayo is OK.

>>8055195
Meatballs?

>>8055735
Its for the hamburgers. They're a bit spherical now, but will get flatter during frying

>>8055839
hamburgers don't need egg or breadcrumb anon
you're making single serving meatloaves at this point

>>8055850
Its not breadcrumb, its crushed crackers. I used Olivier's recipe.

Took a few photos at an exhibition some years back if you're interested.

>>8055968
beautiful, post more

>>8055976
It wasn't limited to chocolate sculptures, I'll post the rest later.

>>8055987

If I remember correctly this was oyster wrapped in bacon and vegetable slices deep fried tempura style.

Can't remember shit about this one.

>>8055983
looking forward to it, anon, they're really great

Deepfried oyster and spanish style ground beef preparation on a pain perdu style corn toast.

Meat preparation wrapped in veal. And as you can see, they were cooking it live.

Can't remember much about that either other than those are milk bubbles on top. And that's it, I got additional photos, mostly of the preparation of dish but I don't think they're that interesting.

>>8055173
More cat, less food.

Got a new cookbook, pretty excited to try some of these out

>>8056069
Do the chefs stick a straw in the bowl and blow the bubbles?

>>8018008

I'm still working on it, but I'm getting there

I've made Brussels sprouts on several occasions and never removed the outer leaves
Does this mean on going to turn into a sprout

>>8023608
Fuck me, I JUST ate a huge bowl of pork vermicelli and spring rolls (shit was cash), and this picture makes me sooo hungry. Better than anything I've ever seen labeled good porn. Lone Star is just a perfect touch.

>>8029848
God damn there is nothing worse than a bad screw imitator. >>8029865 but now I finally know what the hell big Moe was on about so thanks

>>8032120
COP TECH
Good catch anon. "Exotic novelty"

>>8055839
>but will get flatter during frying
You're terribly wrong anon, burgers retract on the sides when they cook, become thicker. You need them flat, and wider than the bun they're going to go on. My mom used to always do them bun sized and then I'd wind up with a dense little hockey puck, and my first bite was always just bun and ketchup.
Also listen to this guy >8055850 , I used to do all that shit with the egg and Worcestershire sauce, but I learned nothing beats a burger than only consists of beef, salt, and pepper. Try it. Also don't press them, and only flip them once. I'm always very pleased with the results I get

so m8s i have had a laborious week, thankfully my 72 hour labor day just started and out of respect for any fellow laborers I am shit housed

got me some racism whisky and i have put a nice ding in it

so im gonna try to not pass out while thise chicken titty melts and then i might do some kind of sandwhich or something i dunno, this thread is like all chicken we'll pretend its a theme

>>8030201
Looks fucking dank. Not a fan of using so much parsley, but regardless, looks fucking dank.

>>8058111
They named a whisky after a Billy Idol song?

>>8045316
hot diggety, want those tendies in my mouf

made some bread with the same recipe I made those oatrolls earlier, it kinda exploded in my oven but still sounds hollow and has nice crust, letting it rest now before slicing into it

>>8058351
Other way around. Billy used Rebel Yell whiskey as the title of his song.

Vito in this mafucka

Starting some lactofermented pickle prep

>>8007729
OP with the OC, you are appreciated

>>8007840
Only one way to go. Blackberry cobbler and vanilla ice cream. Quick, easy, and you can spice it up with nutmeg, lemon juice, and lemon zest if you want more flavor.
Don't skimp on the butter.

>>8060596
This asshole is after my heart.

>>8060727
Fine, pussy, you can make it vegan with earth balance in the red tub (or coconut oil), coconut ice cream, and Ener-G egg replacer.
